President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night.
“Just like we drew it up,” Biden posted on X alongside a photo of “Dark Brandon,” the meme created by hardcore—and very online—supporters of Donald Trump that Biden and his team loved so much they adopted it as their own.
The post was apparently referencing far-right conspiracy theories which posit the NFL and high-level government operatives conspired to rig the Super Bowl in Kansas City’s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.
You can argue about this all day long. The web was invented on a Next computer, created by Steve Jobs, written in C or maybe C++, also invented by Americans.
Point is, a thousand different things had to come together from all over the world to create the modern Internet. I don’t think it’s accurate to say only one entity was responsible for it.
Edit: A gigantic amount of the Internet and its infrastructure runs on an OS written by a dude from Finland.
Al Gore funded the internet.
Unless that entity is Al Gore.
Heh. AI Gore. My font doesn’t differ on l and I.
